Description: | This device was used in clarinet making at the Boosey & Co. factory in Marble Arch. It is a measuring tool used to determine where the tone holes should be drilled on the body of the instrument. Tone hole placement and drilling is crucial to the tuning of the instrument and involved much skill. This process is now carried out by automated machines. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Horniman Museum and Gardens | Rights holder: | Horniman Museum, London | Subjects: | work | Temporal: | 1905 | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
